Marie Heflin

It is Difficult to Duck Deftly Marie Heflin

This is a true story that tells of a poignant experience of a Chicago Public Schools teacher who passively, but sympathetically, observed the abuse of a fellow teacher for months. Then one eventful day, through fate, she becomes a witness to a ruse to arrest the teacher. The teacher asks her to call a friend. While ascertaining the friend's phone number, the witness is also arrested.

Both teachers are later exploited by a corrupt legal system that secondarily fostered the outlandish intent of a school system and police department.

Through boundless perils of anguish and injustice, the writer becomes more determined to be heard through pen.
